As some of you might have heard through the grapevine, the official Ledger IOTA App is about to be released — all thanks to the community-driven initiative lead by some of the best developers we were honoured to be working with (some of them actively participating in the Hercules development as well): wollac, diskings, muXxer and others.

For the past few weeks we have been working on a few “premium” features that have been enabled on the public load balancer. What is the load balancer?

Over the past few month we achieved tremendous advances with our Deviota milestones by releasing Nelson and Bolero tools. Our release date for the final Deviota product is being pushed back, because of the limited resources and the time involved to make those tools available not just for our product, but for the whole community.
